We are still in the planning phase and will have a better idea of the charging network’s availability for this year within the next month or so.

We do have DCFCers currently placed as far north as Augusta (as well as Topsham, Portland and South Portland). However, getting from Jackman, Maine to Augusta is still a gap for DCFCers; we hope to have level 2 charging available throughout the Jackman to Waterville stretch over the summer as well.

Feel free to reach out for an update as your travel season approaches. Thanks for your interest. I am confident Maine will continue to support having charging resources to help facilitate your journey!

Governor LePage's office has asked that I respond to your inquiry. In 2016, a joint task force comprised of representatives from the Governor's Office, Governor's Energy Office, MaineDOT, Maine Turnpike Authority, Maine Department of Environmental Protection, Quebec Government Office in Boston, Quebec Department of Transportation, Hydro-Quebec, Central Maine Power, Charge Point, Efficiency Maine, Electric Mobility NE, and Maine Clean Communities met four times to discuss logistics and needs to establish a continuous electric vehicle charging corridor from southern Maine north to Quebec via Route 201. The joint task force issued a request for information regarding possible approaches to achieving this goal; eleven responses were received. Several "legs" of the designated charging corridor have been addressed via private-commercial partnerships between landowners or municipalities and commercial companies. In June 2017, the task force will reconvene to determine the next step moving forward, including posing funding partnerships between private, commercial, and potentially public entities. Funding for installation and maintenance of charging infrastructure north of Augusta remains our primary challenge as the joint task force has no dedicated source of funds. We will be working to creatively resolve this issue.
